Chapter 241 - 'Mysterious Fruit' Is Upgraded
Chapter 241 - 'Mysterious Fruit' Is Upgraded
'Ivy, eat all you want, but please give me some good 'Mysterious fruit.'
As soon as he summoned the fire vine, Henrick started praying that it would give him some good fruits from its skill, 'Mysterious fruit'.
Soon, a ten-meter long vine with around one meter thickness appeared in front of Henrick and started swallowing the bug warriors' bodies.
It was like a snake moving around and swallowing everything that comes in its way.
At the same time, Henrick didn't understand how so many bodies of the bug warriors could be stored in the fire vine's body.
However, he didn't say anything and allowed the fire vine to continue to swallow.
'Ding,
The fire vine swallowed a thousand beings of the same race.
'Ding,
Its skill 'Mysterious fruit' upgraded to level 2.
'Ding,
From now on, two mysterious fruits will be available for every consumption.
Henrick thought of stopping the fire vine to get a mysterious fruit; however, he suddenly received a series of system notifications.
'Haha...so, the skill will upgrade on its own when Ivy consumes more beings. Excellent.'
Henrick started laughing.
'Since I will get two fruits, I will allow Ivy to consume as many beings as possible in one go.'
Henrick didn't stop the fire vine and allowed it to consume all the bodies of the bug warrior.
There were many dead bodies of the bug warriors all around him, and Henrick was confident that the skill 'Mysterious fruit' would be upgraded once more.
'I wonder what will be the new effect when that skill reaches level 3.'
Looking at the dead bodies of the bug warriors around him, Henrick silently muttered to himself.
In the first wave of invasion, there were 10000 bug warriors.
In the second wave of invasion, there were 40000 bug warriors.
A total of 50000 bug warriors' bodies were lying around him with eight master realm bug warriors and more than 10000 energy transformation realm bug warriors and the remaining or energy condensation and the muscle strengthening realm bug warriors.
'Anyway, until the fire vine finishes swallowing the bodies, I will see my rewards.'
In the second wave of bug warriors' invasion, he killed nearly 10000 bug warriors along with a master realm bug warrior.
So, he wanted to check how many reputation points and crude souls he got from them.
'Ding,
Master killed
1500 energy transformation realm bug warriors x 10 crude souls
3000 energy condensation realm bug warriors x 5 crude souls
5000 muscle strengthening realm bug warriors x 3 crude souls.
One master realm bug warrior x 100 crude souls.
'Ding,
Total crude souls gained 45000 crude souls.
Total reputation points gained 9600.
'Ding,
Total crude souls in the account:- 79035.
Total reputation points:- 11731.
Total bloodline points:-115.
Soon, Henrick got the complete data on his kills; however, he didn't bother about it as he directly checked only the 'Total' system notification.
'I only need 11000 crude souls to purchase my hand.'
Henrick was excited when he thought about it.
Originally, the price of the arm is 100000 crude souls; however, because of his level 1 reputation, he can avail a 10 percent discount on any item he buys from the soul store.
'Ding,
It was detected that the participant had more than 10000 reputation points.
'Ding,
Congratulations to the participant for reaching level 2 in reputation.
'Ding,
The participant can have a 15 percent discount from the soul store.
'Ding,
Unlocked the universal reputation ranking. Please check the ranking list in the inheritance building.
Just as he checked the gains from the earlier battle, Henrick's head was continuously ringing with the system notifications.
'Haha....today, my luck is too good. Not only did I enter into the energy transformation realm, but I also gained so many crude souls, reputation points, and now, I even have a 15 percent discount.'
After reading all the system notifications, Henrick started laughing from ear to ear as he could not control his laughter.
'Now, I only need 6000 crude souls, and since there is another invasion, I can accumulate another 30000 crude souls for sure.'
Henrick's worry about his right hand is completely gone, and he looked forward to completing this trial. So that he could get his hand back.
Soon, he looked at the fire vine, which almost consumed more than 5000 bug warriors, and it still showed no signs of stopping.
'Ding,
The fire vine consumed 10000 bug warriors and reached the storage capacity.
'Ding,
The fire vine needs some time to digest the bodies and convert them into the useful energy needed to grow a mysterious fruit.
After another 10 minutes, the fire vine's stomach is completely filled with the bodies as he stopped moving from its place.
'Finally, it's done.'
Even though there were more bodies, Henrick was excited to get his first batch of mysterious fruits.
Soon, another 10 minutes passed by, and two thin branches of around a few centimeters grew at the center of the 10-meter fire vine side by side.
Right in front of his eyes, two blue-coloured flowers bloomed to those thin branches, and those two flowers turned into two small blue colored fruits around the size of a small pill.
As time passed, the small blue-colored fruits grew, and they only stopped growing when they were around the size of a pigeon egg.
'Ding,
Two 'Mysterious fruits' are available for the master. Please pick them.
After he got the system notification, Henrick moved forward to pluck the two fruits with a slight smile on his face.
'Swoosh'
Just as he plucked the two fruits, some noises came from the fire vine's body as its body grew by another two meters.
'What? Its body grew once again.'
Henrick was surprised to see the sudden growth of the fire vine; however, he didn't think much about it because it was a good thing for the fire vine to grow.
Moreover, it can freely resize its body with that range.
'Ivy, start consuming once again.'
Henrick wanted to allow the fire vine to take a rest, but it was excited to swallow more bug warriors. So, he didn't stop it and let it do whatever it wanted to do.
'Ding,
Item name:- Mysterious fruit (consumable).
Effect:- The consumer can temporarily gain the ability 'Poison breath' for five minutes.
More information:- Can be consumable by any being.
After sending the fire vine away, Henrick checked the effects of the fruits, and the effects are the same for both the fruits.
'Temporarily gaining an ability?'
Henrick was excited when he read the starting words of the effect; however, when he finished reading it, Henrick frowned a little, 'Poison breath?'
Just from the name alone, Henrick could guess what that ability can do. So, he felt a little annoyed.
'However, it can be useful in the future.'
In Henrick's view, every ability is useful depending on the situation. Since he will complete more and more trials now, he decided to store both the fruits in his inventory.
Time continued to pass as another hour passed by.
It's been nearly 13 hours since Henrick entered this world, and as long as he survives in this world for another 11 hours, he can leave that world.
Moreover, Henrick was confident that he would get good rewards because he killed so many bug warriors. Also, if Master Valen breakthroughs into the grandmaster realm, there was no need for any immortal's help. So, Henrick felt this trial was almost completed.
'Sigh...I am getting the same fruits from these bug warriors.'
Within this one hour, the fire vine gave another eight fruits, which have the same effect as the first two fruits.
Adding to the first two fruits, he can temporarily gain the 'Poison breath' skill for nearly 50 minutes since he currently has ten fruits.
'Also, there was no upgrade in its skill.'
Henrick thought the skill 'Mysterious fruit' would be upgraded once more; however, there was no change in the skill.
'I wonder whether these master realm beings will give something good or not.'
Looking at the seven bug warriors' dead bodies in his inventory, Henrick silently thought in his head.
Earlier, he separated the master realm bug warriors along with a grandmaster bug warrior. Because in the skill information of the 'Mysterious fruit', it was mentioned that the more powerful a being is, the more powerful the effect of the fruit will be.
'Ivy, consume them.'
After each use of the 'Mysterious fruit' skill, the fire vine grew by two meters, and finally, it reached 20 meters in length and 1.5 meters wide.
Even though it swallowed nearly 50000 bug warriors, it was still not tired, and only then he understood that the fire vine is the true glutton.
So, he asked it to consume the powerful bug warriors.
'Gulp'
The fire vine swallowed all the bug warriors in a few gulps before falling to the ground.
Soon, the same process repeated; however, this time, it was not blue-colored flowers; instead, it was red-coloured flowers.
'Woah...finally, a new fruit will be coming.'
As for Henrick, when he saw the red-colored flowers, he was greatly excited as he looked forward to seeing what effect these mysterious fruits will have.
Within a few seconds, the red-coloured flowers turned into red-colored fruits; however, it seemed like it's been hours for Henrick as he felt the time was moving very slowly for him.
"Hey, did you see commander Henrick's tamed beast? It can swallow 50000 bug warriors."
"I wonder how strong it is."
"I hope it is strong enough to go against the master realm bug warriors."
From a distance, a couple of soldiers who were on guard observed the fire vine swallow all the bug warrior's bodies within an hour and became shocked as they continued to discuss it.
